This Generation III Classic Personal snowplow is the most recent innovation from SnowBear. This plow conveniently slides into your vehicle's front-mounted trailer hitch (sold separately) for easy, convenient mounting. It has a remote-controlled electric winch that will let you raise and lower the plow without leaving the warmth and comfort of your cab. The pivoting blade makes this plow ideal for rocky or uneven surfaces because it can adjust to the terrain. Angled trip springs are also built in to help keep the blade from catching and tripping.
Simple, Hitch-Mounted Installation
This hitch-mounted snowplow simply slides into your vehicle's front trailer hitch receiver, making it a breeze to install. Unlike a plow that attaches to custom-fit brackets, which ties you down to just 1 vehicle, this hitch-mounted plow can be used on most trucks or SUVs with a 2" x 2" front-mounted hitch. As a result, this plow can be easily switched between multiple vehicles. And because it offers a nearly universal fit, you won't have to buy a new plow when you replace your old vehicle.
To install the Personal snowplow, just slide the shank of the plow assembly into your 2" trailer hitch receiver . Then use a pin and clip or a hitch lock (sold separately) to secure the plow in the receiver.
How to Plow
Once the plow is mounted on your vehicle, lower the blade and set it to the desired angle. To set the angle, exit the vehicle and manually position the plow straight ahead, or 22 degrees to the left or to the right. Angling the blade allows you to push snow off to the side where you want it without having to change the angle of your entire vehicle. This is especially useful on a driveway or private roadway where piling the snow straight ahead would create a barrier.
To begin plowing, just drive forward. When backing up to take another pass, be sure to lift the plow with the remote or the in-cab toggle switch, then lower it again before moving forward. When approaching a large pile of snow, be sure to decrease your speed. Slamming into a pile of snow can void the warranty on the Personal snowplow.
When you are finished, put your vehicle in park and lower the plow. Remove the plow from your vehicle after every use.
Easy Lifting with Electric Winch
The electric winch on this plow allows you to easily lift and lower the blade using a toggle switch that mounts in your cab. You can also use the included wireless remote control. The winch uses a durable nylon strap, which is much quieter than a chain, to raise and lower the plow.

Better than a snowblower!! Made very well, had it put together and mounted in a couple hours. Used it for two small snowfalls and it worked as expected. Great customer service from etrailer!

Fitment is great on 2019 Yukon Denali. Super useful having a front hitch, wouldn't go without one again, they should come this way from OEM. I have not been disappointed in any of the Curt gear I have, and e-trailer is always great to work with.

2017 ChevroletSuburban
Hitch fit perfectly and instructions were simple and accurate. We needed the front hitch on our 2017 suburban so we could carry bikes and our travel trailer. I did have to modify the bumper trim but the measurements provided were perfect. Greg was great to work with and etrailer is the best. Wear safety eye goggles when drilling holes!

2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty
I bought a Snow bear personal plow and a separate Curt receiver hitch for the front of my 2012 F250.. after speaking with Erica W. several times due to blunders on my part, all was perfect. Quick delivery, price was right, items are super rugged. The stock photos don't do justice. My plow came in at 350 pounds without the receiver hitch. It's not a cheap toy plow. Get one, they'll fit nearly anything! Thanks Erica!!

2015 GMC Yukon
Received and installed a front hitch on our 2015 GMC Yukon. As suggested by the manufacturer, I did have to cut away some of the front lower trim in the center, which does take a little effort but none the less, I was able to do on my own. You also, as told in the instructions, have to drill the holes in your frame. If you don’t know your way around tools, it may be best you have it professionally installed.
That being said, the product itself was a perfect fit. I found no issues with the installation and it works beautifully. I could not have asked for a better front hitch. Tight, easy to access and affordable.

Ask the Experts about this Snow Plow
Do you have a question about this Snow Plow?
- Solution for SnowBear Snow Plow that Wobbles When Raised Up While Traveling
- I spoke with SnowBear about the issue you described and they said it sounds like you aren't using the safety chain that came with the plow which was designed for removing the play you are describing. There's more info on it on pages 13 and 14 in the manual of the plow. Secondly, vehicles with plows connected should NOT travel on roadways without the safety chain installed, as this may result in serious damage to the roadway, plow and vehicle and may cause serious injury to the operator.
view full answer... - Snowbear Plow Receiver Hitch vs Custom Mount
- The biggest difference I have seen between the two style is in the amount of play they have side to side. While it isn't a ton there is more play in the single connection point than what you will get out of the custom frame bracket types. We carry both types here but given the choice I would go with the custom bracket version. If you plan on moving it from one vehicle to another from time to time then the hitch mount is the way to go for ease of use.
There is a great option with custom

- In order to use a Snowbear plow on the front of a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo you'll need to use the one that installs with a front hitch. So for the front hitch you'd need the part # C31048 and then for the plow you'd want the part # SB324-081.

- We have front hitches that will fit your 2007 Jeep Wrangler, like the recommended Draw-Tite # 65069, but these are designed to fit with the standard factory bumper. Since you have an aftermarket bumper you will need to check out the linked installation instructions to try to determine if this will fit with your bumper or not. If it won't then the only way for you to get a front mount hitch on your Wrangler is to have one fabricated.

- I have good news all around because there are front-mounted trailer hitches that fit both your 2001 GMC Yukon 1500 and 2001 Ford F-150, and your SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081 will fit on both trucks.

- Since the SnowBear Personal Snowplow part # SB324-081 is designed to attach to a front hitch what you'll need is a front hitch designed to fit your 2006 Jeep Commander like the Curt # C31056 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Wiring for SnowBear Personal Snow Plow
- According to the control box wiring diagram (see attached) 2 of the wires for the SnowBear Personal Snowplow for 2" Hitches # SB324-081 go to the electric winch and 2 of them go to the battery. The only other thing that you might have is a switch for light accessories but the black wires for that setup go to ground.
If none of this matches what you have then go ahead and send me a photo and/or a part number for the box you are looking at and I can see if there is anything else I can find out.
view full answer... - Plow Recommendation for 2002 Chevy Avalanche with Front Hitch
- For a hitch mounted plow for the type of application you mentioned I really like the K2 # K2AVAL8219. It's 82 inches wide and 19 inches tall that uses a winch motor to raise and lower. It also comes with a wireless remote to make operation and install easy.
view full answer... - Does Snowbear Plow Come With Front Mounted Hitch?
- The SnowBear Personal Snowplow, # SB324-081, does not come with a front-mounted hitch, but there is an option available for your 2017 Jeep Wrangler. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # 31432, which is a two-inch hitch that bolts on and is a is custom-fit for Wranglers.
The SnowBear offers accessories which are designed to make things easier on you, such as the Lighting Kit, # SB324-127, which mounts to the frame of the plow and simply wires to your Jeep's battery.

- As long as your front mount hitch receiver on your 2017 Nissan Titan XD was between 7 to 13 inches from the ground that the Personal Snowplow # SB324-081 that you referenced will fit.

view full answer... - Recommended Front Hitch for a 2018 Chevy Suburban
- Yes, there is! To add a front hitch to your 2018 Chevy Suburban, I recommend the Curt item # C31073. This front mounted hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Chevy with included hardware. This hitch has a 2" receiver, with a 5,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 500 lbs vertical load limit.

view full answer... - Is Ground Clearance Reduced with Front Mount Hitch Installed on a 2015 Chevy Suburban
- As far as ground clearance goes for your 2015 Chevy Suburban you will want to use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31073 over the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65064 because the instructions call for you to cut the front fascia whereas the Draw-Tite instructions fort of hint that you may not need to.
The access hole that needs to be cut for the Curt installation if 1-1/2" x 3" so at the most you will have an approximate 1-1/2" of the receiver hanging below
view full answer... - Is There Trimming Required to Install Front Hitch on a 2015 GMC Yukon
- You are going to have to trim out a section of your front air dam to install the Curt Hitch part # C31073 that is 3 inches wide by 1.50 inches tall. A similar amount of trimming is required for the Draw Tite hitch part # 65064 as well. The other option is to just remove the air dam.
I attached a picture that shows a similar Tahoe with the air dam removed and the hitch installed.

- The front mount trailer hitch options for a 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31073 and Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65064 both require a slight trimming of the front lower bumper fascia. I took a look at some install photos of either hitch and it does appear that the Curt hitch offers more ground clearance so that is what I recommend. Furthermore, the Curt hitch has a clearer install look since the crosstube is more hidden

- A front hitch itself, either # C31073 or # 65064 for the 2015 GMC Yukon XL Denali, would not interfere with the adaptive cruise control on the vehicle. But when you have something in the hitch that item could interfere with the sensors for the cruise control.

- For your 2018 Chevy Suburban the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31073 and the Draw-Tite # 65064 will both require air dam trimming. I've linked a couple photos to assist.

If the hitch were below the air dam it wouldn't allow the ground clearances necessary for your Suburban.
